“The profit margin of the average convenience store, gas station, or
supermarket, for example, is under 2%. Credit card fees are 2% or more
of nearly pure profit. The results can be absurd: banks and credit card
issuers making more from a restaurant’s burgers, a bookstores books, or a
corner store’s groceries than the store owners and employees” [Priceonomics].
"Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by public incredulity." - Marshall McLuhan
